“REVENGE POP” official website: https://revenge-pop.mikapikazo.info/ Mika Pikazo has worked as an illustrator and character designer in a wide range of genres, working on character designs for many popular titles, including Nintendo’s latest Fire Emblem series Fire Emblem Engage, as well as book illustrations and CD jackets. I’m here. This time, it has been decided to hold a second solo exhibition for the first time in about three years since the first solo exhibition “Mika Pikazo Exhibition” held in 2019.
The first main visual released today is “REVENGE”, an animation-themed work. With the desire to give shape to the animation production that started in the winter of 2022, Mika Pikazo will use the newly started animation and past illustrations to fuse her past and future selves and take on the challenge. It is a work created with the will to continue.
The first main visual “REVENGE” can also be seen at the top of the official website.
The main visual for this exhibition is planned to be drawn for all three points, and will be released at any time in the future. [Image 2
In this exhibition, we plan to exhibit many newly drawn illustrations, including the first main visual. In addition, animation works and collaboration works with popular creators are scheduled to be exhibited, and the contents are full of highlights.
Please pay attention to the entertainment-rich spatial production that further enhances Mika Pikazo’s view of the world.
In addition, we plan to sell limited goods using newly drawn illustrations and events such as autograph sessions. Details will be announced later on the official website and official Twitter. Please come and visit Mika Pikazo’s special exhibition space where rich colors spread.
Pixiv will continue to support creators’ “dreams” in their creative activities and support their further leap forward as creators. Mika Pikazo Solo Exhibition “REVENGE POP” Supported by pixiv Outline [Image 3

【comment】
This will be my first solo exhibition in about three years since I held my first exhibition in 2019.
The title is “REVENGE POP”.
If I can draw something that someone finds fun or interesting, that’s what makes me feel good.
But in life, there are many things that make me feel sad and angry, and I despair at myself that I can’t do anything about it.
For several years, I kept asking myself why I am painting and whether there is any meaning in painting.
I love the word “POP” and what it means, and I believe in it. In order to embody that someday, I thought that I should look back on the dark, seething parts of myself and the past that I regret, and incorporate them into my work. I want to take revenge on that feeling. That is the reason why I wanted to do this exhibition. thank you. What is pixiv? https://www.pixiv.net
